Sam out for three months, broken foot

The clever young striker unfortunately suffered a broken leg playing for Port Vale against Rotherham United in English League One action on Tuesday, which his team lost 3-1.

Agent Mike Berry said the player may be out for up to three months.

Meanwhile, Scottish-based midfielder Russell Latapy is scheduled to return home on Tuesday to join coach Leo Beenhakker’s training camp ahead of the next 2006 World Cup qualifier against Guatemala at the Hasely Crawford Stadium on the Saturday.

Latapy, who made himself available to the national team once again, following discussions with Jack Austin Warner, is expected to play for his club Falkirk against Aberdeen on August 27, then tie up some personal business before taking the flight out of London along with the rest of the selected UK-based players.

Latapy’s local representative Wayne Mandeville confirmed his client’s scheduled.

Team skipper Dwight Yorke is also scheduled to arrive on August 29 and should be available for the start of the training camp the following morning.

"Russell is set to come in on the 30th after a game with Falkirk that weekend. He has a couple things to see about and then he will be here with us," team manager Bruce Aanensen said yesterday.

"He will come in with the rest of the guys on that flight and Dwight along with Silvio (Spann) are expected to be with us the day before."

Latapy said, "I have commitments at the club and obviously that has been the big thing in my career up to recent times but I have made this decision to come back and be part of the national team and the necessary procedures will follow from here."
